Though to be more charitable closure was a direct reaction to the difficulty of maintaining a huge JavaScript codebase for Gmail and static typing like Java really helped. Typescript is better but closure was miles better than raw js.


Today’s version would be to grade shell script homework randomly on either Linux or macOS :)


Do you know of a good ready-made implementation of such a proxy? I’ve been looking for one.

GitHub is also a worry in terms of exfiltration. You can’t block pushes to public repos unless you are using GitHub Enterprise Managed Users afaict.

That might be somewhat ungenerous unless you have more detail to provide.

I know that at least some LLM products explicitly check output for similarity to training data to prevent direct reproduction.


So it would be able to produce the training data but with sufficient changes or added magic dust to be able to claim it as one's own.

Legally I think it works, but evidence in a court works differently than in science. It's the same word but don't let that confuse you and don't mix them both.


Should they though? If the answer to a question^Wprompt happens to be in the training set, wouldn't it be disingenuous to not provide that?


Maybe it's intended to avoid legal liability resulting from reproducing copyright material not licensed for training?


Ding!

It's great business to minimally modify valuable stuff and then take credit for it. As was explained to me by bar-certified counsel "if you take a recipe and add, remove or change just one thing, it's now your recipe"

The new trend in this is asking Claude Code to create a software on some type, like a Browser or a DICOM viewer, and then publishing that it's managed to do this very expensive thing (but if you check source code, which is never published, it probably imports a lot of open source dependencies that actually do the thing)

Now this is especially useful in business, but it seems that some people are repurposing this for proving math theorems. The Terence Tao effort which later checks for previous material is great! But the fact that the Section 2 (for such cases) is filled to the brim, and section 1 is mostly documented failed attempts (except for 1 proof, congratulations to the authors), mostly confirms my hypothesis, claiming that the model has guards that prevent it is a deus ex machina cope against the evidence.


You do know that something similar is true for JPEG, right? :)

JPEG is a compression method. Files with JPEG-compressed data are most likely to be in either JFIF or EXIF container formats. Both will almost always use the .jpg/.jpeg file extension.


Nit: RDP’s roots are more in multi-user windows like Citrix Metaframe than in remote administration. I’ve found it to perform better than the alternatives (remote X11, VNC, Chrome Remote Desktop) for remote GUIs. Nomachine is the only alternative that was close to its performance.

(And before somebody jumps in to correct me - in ancient times X11 performed quite well over the network but modern Linux GUI apps are no longer designed to minimise X11 network traffic)


From my personal experience (by feel, not scientific), NVIDIA GameStream is way faster than RDP. I used it with Sunshine and Moonlight.


Things made for game streaming will be more responsive at the tradeoff of massive bandwidth usage in comparison. RDP can work over slow connections reasonably well.


Massive bandwidth usage and video compression artifacts. It's fine for games and media consumption, but may be problematic for office work.

Remote desktop protocols prefer lossless compression to achieve pixel-perfect rendering, at the expense of framerate/latency.

RDP is unique in that it's not just streaming, but integrates with Windows' GUI stack to actually offload compositing to the client. This however works less and less well with web and Electron apps which do not use native OS widgets.


Agreed that RDP is very well designed. And we don't have an equivalent in Linux or Mac world. All competing protocols are a compromise. I am particularly impressed with good multi-monitor support in RDP. Competitions has had more than a decade to get it right. But I am unaware of any that does.

If I connect remotely from a 2 monitor setup, disconnect and re-connect from my laptop with just a single display, it all magically works. Everything readjusts automatically. I don't know of any other remote desktop protocol/tool that does this so well.


I’m sorry you went through that


Relatively common in Finland to use young nettles like you’d use spinach in hot dishes (soup, blanched, pancakes).


> pancakes

Is this a frittata-style baked pancake? I've made rye pannukakku from the family cookbook here in the US Midwest but never seen any Finnish pancake with spinach or nettle.


Not quite. You take Finnish pancake batter (unleavened, a bit thicker than French crepes) and add blanched, finely chopped spinach or nettles.

https://scandicuisine.com/stinging-nettle-pancakes/ looks quite reasonable though most Finns would not use a blender for this.


I can be that someone this time. The ”repair and protect” version has helped my low-level toothache.
